It's all a game. How much does the life of three hostages weigh against the life of an entire city?For ex-detective Henry Wood, hunting a diamond thief seems like the best way to get him and his partner back into the team. Back into their jobs. It's been a year since they were fired and it can't go on like this. His over-confident genius of a partner isn't so sure. As they delve deeper into the case, all is not as it seems.
What starts out as an ordinary theft soon turns into a twisted game of life and death. Aidan is faced with an enemy from his past, with a mind as sharp as his. Known only as 'The Trickster', he makes Aidan doubt everything he believes in. As the stakes rise higher, and time is running out, all that remains is one question:Who will play the better trick?
